When Ashley and I walked into Staples Center last night, December 30th, 2007 -- we were in for a big surprise as we prepared to watch the Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics. Just as we walked in the entrace, we noticed some shirts were being handed out. Which was perfect, I love free shirts!

Once we had our shirts, I looked at them a little closer. They read:

Lakers vs. Celtics - 12.30.07 - I saw the short shorts

Almost what we immediately realized is that tonight was a throwback jersey night -- and in this case it was from 1987-1988 -- that meant short shorts, or John Stockton shorts so to say. So, in addition to the game I took quite a gallery of pictures of many of the Lakers in their short shorts.

Now the Celtics wore their normal road jerseys, and the short shorts of the Los Angeles Lakers were gone after halftime. Here is your chance to see the gallery -- the rest of the evening is covered in the post here.

What did you think of the short shorts? Let me know with your comments below.

Andrew Bynum with his short shorts at Staples Center for Lakers vs. Celtics

Derek Fisher with his short shorts at Staples Center for Lakers vs. Celtics. Derek Fisher with short shorts and short socks. Ashley's favorite!

Kobe Bryant with his short shorts at Staples Center for Lakers vs. Celtics. Kobe said he throught wearing these felt like a thong.

Lamar Odom with his short shorts at Staples Center for Lakers vs. Celtics. Doesn't Lamar look a little like Michael Cooper from those Laker teams in the 1980's?

Luke Walton with his short shorts at Staples Center for Lakers vs. Celtics
